It's a.. baby (?!)
I went to the doctor's this past Tuesday.. God, was that really only FOUR DAYS AGO??? Did a urine test, and they confirmed I am pregnant.. probably just over 7 weeks along at this stage, but I won't know for certain until mid February which will be my first prenatal visit. Man.. I can't believe I've only known for certain for 4 days.. it feels like an entire lifetime has happened between now and then.
Sean knows, my mom knows.. I'm going down to Phoenix in a bit to tell Holly, James, the girls, my dad, and Karen.. I'm not sure how my dad and James will respond, but I imagine everyone else will be excited. Sean told his dad, Niall, and Jackie yesterday. His dad laughed, then cried, then laughed from shock of hearing the news. His sister Jackie is excited.. and Niall, well all he said was he's "stunned."
So.. sometime around the last day of August to possibly mid September I'll be popping out a baby (awww). I'm going to be a mama. What an odd thought.. I've had 26 years up until a week ago (I took the initial home pregnancy a week from today) of not being pregnant and knowing I would soon be a parent.. and yet in the week I've known.. it seems like my entire life. I don't know.. I just can't believe it. I really thought I had fertility issues (and maybe I do? Sean thinks this is a gift from his mom :).)
Anyway.. a bit nervous about things until I've been in to see the doctor in a few weeks. I should be more than 11 weeks by then. I've been taking vitamins, and obviously quit smoking actually the Friday before I took the home preg test. Haven't had a cigarette since, and can't stand the thought of one right now.
I've been battling serious morning sickness the past week and a half. It seems to have gotten worse in the past few days. It's not limited to the morning.. it seems to hit mid afternoon and just before bed too. :( Not feeling great the past few days.. headaches and breasts so sore I can't sleep on my stomach. But strangely I'm not having any of the mood swings... I actually feel a LOT more calm lately. Almost like it's straightened out my hormones?? For now anyway.
Imagine I'll be posting here more frequently now.
